Walkerscroft Mead, 36

Proposal:

Specie and Location of Tree

Tree ID 8076      A Bay Laurel tree approximately 8.5m in height, situated in the rear garden.  The tree is becoming too large for its location and surface roots are lifting the paving bricks on the footpath.

Description of Approved Works

Tree ID 8076      Remove.

Details of Replacement Required

As a condition of the removal of Tree ID 8076 above, a replacement tree is to be planted in a convenient location of the rear garden and below are the three alternative species for consideration:

Amelanchier lamarckii (Juneberry): Known for white spring flowers, edible berries, and vibrant autumn foliage.

Euonymus europaeus (Spindle Tree): A hardy native tree featuring unique pink and orange seed pods.

Prunus amanogowa (Flagpole Cherry): Offers delicate pale pink flowers during the Spring and an upright, compact habit.

The new tree must meet British Standard 3936-1.  This replacement must have a healthy crown and a minimum stem girth of 10–12cm when measured at 1.5m above ground level.

To ensure the new tree thrives, it must be supported with a suitable stake to prevent "wind-rock" while the roots establish.  The tree will require regular watering during the first two growing seasons, specifically from April to September. Please note that if the tree dies or becomes diseased within five years of planting, it must be replaced with a new specimen of the same specification.

Status:

Approved
